Why is it important for there to be women in Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) jobs at NASA?
NASA is an agency recognized worldwide as a leader in the areas of science and technology, and the fact that it has women working in the fields of information, communications and technology serves as inspiration, and contributes to other women’s interest in studying and working in these fields. The women who work at NASA show that they can not only access the knowledge of these fields as users, but they can also contribute to its creation. It shows that the vision of women can be integrated into the processes of design, production and management in the scientific field, taking advantage of their creative potential. NASA is an agency that opens new horizons and has an impact not only in the scientific field, but also in the evolution of the human being, through the social and cultural aspect. Women who work at NASA not only open the way to other generations, but also break with the enigmas of the role of women in a society, thus achieving gender equality, which is the greatest human rights challenge of our times.
